Howlin Dawg's Fire Sauce (Really Easy)

Hot Sauce!

I love a good hot sauce and this is my everyday easy to make chilli sauce. Only takes five minutes to assemble the ingredients then a further half hour or so to simmer. Its excellent. Whilst it doesnt quite have the depth of a fermented sauce its great on anything. Its pretty darned hot too!

If you want a milder sauce just use a couple of jalapenos and no scotch bonnets or habaneros!

You will need

5 or 6 chillis, you can use any. I like to use a combination of habaneros and jalapenos. Here I have used three of each (I like it hot)
2 big mounded tablespoons of tomato puree/paste
400 mls of water (about one and a half cups)
Half an onion
1 or 2 cloves of garlic.(I usually use 1 so the chilli flavour shines through)
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Teaspoon of oil (any kind) for frying

Method

Wallop the chillis, garlic and onion into a small blender and give it a whizz until finely chopped.

Then put the blitzed chillis garlic and opion into a small saucepan and give a fry in the teaspoon of oil for a few minutes to take the edge of the rawness.

Now add the water, tomato puree/paste, vinegar and salt and bring to the boil before reducing to a simmer for thirty minutes, if it is still a little runny simmer for ten minutes more.

There you go! Let it cool in the pot

Then transfer to a jar or bottle. This will keep in the fridge for about 7-10 days and a few days if left out of the fridge.

It wont last that long though, I guarantee it!

Next time I shall post a fermented sauce recipe and fermentation hints!!
